The Matrix SDK in Elm allows users to communicate with other instances using
the [Matrix](https://matrix.org) protocol.
The Elm SDK serves as a more consistent alternative to the
[matrix-js-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/), which is a
JavaScript implementation of the Matrix protocol with several downsides. In
contrast, the Elm SDK supports:
- ✅ **Matrix spec version adjustment** based on which spec version the
homeserver supports. The matrix-js-sdk spec uses endpoints from legacy versions
and exclusively supports the latest 4 spec versions, while this SDK listens to
the homeserver's supported spec versions and talks to the server accordingly.
See [docs/supported.md](docs/supported.md) to discover which interactions are
supported for which spec versions.
- ✅ **One way to do things** instead of having multiple functions that are
considered deprecated.

@elm_matrix_sdk@social.noordstar.me to stay up-to-date on the latest changes.
## How to install
In your terminal, run
```sh
elm install noordstar/elm-matrix-sdk-beta
```
Keep in mind that the beta versions are intended to develop rapidly. You should
not expect the versions to remain reliable for years! If you need a stable
version, please wait around for a full version.

# Supported features in spec versions
The Matrix spec frequently releases new spec versions. Most features are
supported in the Elm SDK on most spec releases, but not all endpoints exist
for every version. For example, in very early versions you couldn't even get
the content of an event!
This document specifies which features you can expect to work for which spec
versions. This can help you decide whether the SDK will interoperate with your
homeserver, or that it may be better to not rely on a specific feature.
---
Considering that the current version does not support interaction with a
homeserver, no functionality is supported at any spec version.

This first version forms a mere basis from which we will create iterative builds
that slowly improve the codebase.
It is generally quite unusual to do this on
the public registry, but it is also generally quite unusual to only support a
monolithic public registry. (:
